Memories & Candles

I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of Anita. She and I were childhood buds- I grew up at 1409 Wilson Ave. just around the corner from the "Shaw" home.I fondly remember we were fellow "Berryman Buttonholers" -[4-H members] and I fondly remember her Momma [Etta] helping me learn to sew a dress that Iactually "showed and modeled'' at the Allen Co. Fair. She and I were "best neighborhood friends"and I wanted to send my sympathy to you. She was a sweet friend to have. Love, Bev Waaland.

My sincere condolences to Nelson and family, our prayers are with you.

After High School Anita worked a few doors from where I worked and I would get my hair done on my lunch hour. We always had such fun talks! When I would come back to Lima for our class reunions, Anita would be the first one I would see and I always marveled at how much she hadn't changed. Her classmates will surely miss her.

May you find comfort in God's love.

I bowled with Anita for many years a long time ago. When I moved away years ago, she was one of the ones I missed the most. She always had a smile and a laugh for you. She was great fun and a great lady. Those times shared and Anita will never be forgotten. In this great time of sorrow, the times shared together and cherished memories will bring you comfort and live in your hearts. My prayers are with all of you.

Dear Nelson,
We are so sorry for your loss of your wonderful wife. She was a delightful person, always kind and sincere. We will keep her in our hearts always.
May you have the peace of God.
Love, Bobbe and Ronny Farmer

To Nelson, Eric & Sally: Our thoughts and prayers are with you now and in the coming days. Anita was a special lady and Heaven gained another angel!

I have known Mrs. Ambroza ever since I was a little girl. My mother (Joy Butler) bowled with her for many years. Many of days I would go with my mother down to the bowling alley, and Mrs.Ambroza was one of the few ladies who played with me. She was a VERY sweet woman, and she will forever be missed. On behalf of my mother and I, I send my heart and prayers to the family of Mrs. Anita Ambroza.
